good day... nice to have found this site...

i just bought a 365 dollor 87 rx7 with a manual tranny... with 200,000 miles... the car in the pics looks fine with a few rust marks... nothing to worry about... but from the pictures it looks great... little clear coat pealing on the hood but for it's age... ok...

but down to the dirty... I have been told that it blows smoke like a chain smoker... and that they not run it for about 2 years... so... now i dont know what needs to be done... i think that tranny is ok... sent a email asking about it but he didnt meanin it... it's just that the motor ran poorly at the time and they didnt do anything but garage it till now...

oh yea it needs a new muffler.... big whop... how much can that cost me....

so i guess what have i gotten myself into... i would think that i could rebuild the motor myself with a good repair book? or would a new motor with out a tranny be the best way to go? i am at a lose here... i have not taken on something this new or different... i did help do some work on my 72 vw karmman ghia... but this is a different beast...

If its white smoke the coolent seals are bad.
I think if its blue smoke the oil seals are bad.
but anyway it needs to be rebiult, if your up to it rebuild it yourself.
New seals pakage cost around a $1k, Muffler, $200-$300.
